Question

what is the answer to the volleyball team at blue point high school has saved $680 and the team plans to spend no more then that amount on balls and nets a ball is $6 and a net is $23 write the inequality that represents the combinations of x balls and y nets that can be purchased

Answer 1

6 x + 23 y < $ 680 represents the combinations of x balls and y nets that can be purchased.

Explanation:

The number of balls than can be purchased = x

The number of nets than can be purchased = y

Total savings = $ 680

Now, the cost of 1 ball =$6

So, the cost of x balls = x ( cost of 1 ball) = x ( $6) = 6 x

Also, the cost of 1 net =$23

So, the cost of y nets = y ( cost of 1 net = y ( $23) = 23 y

So, the total amount spent on x balls and y nets

= Amount spent on x balls + Amount on y nets

= 6 x + 23 y

Also, the saved amount is $680

⇒ 6 x + 23 y < $ 680

Hence, 6 x + 23 y < $ 680 represents the combinations of x balls and y nets that can be purchased.
